Doesn't necessarily start at the beginning - Thrillers often start a few days in, or even at the end, so the audience knows what is going to happen but the want to know how it ended up at that situation. Thrillers are more about the journey of events than the end result.
The titles fade slowly; this settles people down, creates the atmosphere and is very eerie. They sometimes cause the audience to feel uncomfortable which is effective for keeping them on edge for the rest of the film.
The music is usually simple - The simple music doesn't distract the audience from anything else that is happening. Having quite music would make the audience be really quiet so they can listen and try and get clues as to what is going on.
Small clues - the audience is sometimes given small clues; such as the wristband in Brick; which many of them may not even notice or make a connection to. This works well for the audience as it can sometimes be that while watching the film they all want to guess what is happening first and get it right.
